Hey guys, I'm always late to the party, but I finally made it home this past weekend. I had such a good time this year seeing all my old friends, meeting new friends, and eating the best meat almost nonstop (no vegetables). I was so impressed with Dee's SIL executive chef, Brad. He was there earlier in the week, but had to work the weekend. He and Dee prepared Turtle's Wagyu brisket from Snake River Farms. Absolutely delicious. I met some new friends (Mike, Cliff and Tammy, Stephen, and Paul). It was such a pleasure to get to know these people that post on the forum and they are great people. This Gathering really is like a family reunion. I can't wait until next year to see all you guys and girls again. A special "thanks for coming" to the Turtle. I should have read between the lines of his posts for the last month or so. He left so many hints that he was coming, but they went right over my head. Also, a special thank you to Pammie for keeping the kitchen immaculate and making sure that all the food was put up before it went bad. Thanks to Dee for the hard work and organizing skills at the campground. Don't let him fool you into thinking that he just picks up the key and opens the gate. And thanks to the advertisers and sponsors that helped out this year. Thanks to Tim for organizing these sponsors. I will give all my business to them in return.
I did take a little video of this event and have ingested it into the computer. I'm not going to do a lot of editing on it, but just do a one-off and post it in a couple of days. (For Tommy's benefit, I'm just going to edit out the shots where I forgot to take the lens cap off.)
